Common Very Low Frequency (VLF) Increment 2 (CVRi2) Modernization

The Department of the Air Force is issuing a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FA8735‑26‑R‑B001) for the Common Very Low Frequency Receiver Increment 2 (CVRi2) Modernization program. The effort, managed under the AFLCMC/XA IDIQ contract FA8684‑23‑D‑B112, will award one or two Delivery Orders on a best‑value basis once funding is available (response deadline July 1 2026, 12:00 PM ET). Only firms that are Category 2 awardees on the referenced IDIQ and are certified by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) may submit. Offerors must submit their CAGE code and list all sites where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) will be accessed, handled, or processed by 20 April 2026, 4:00 PM ET. The solicitation seeks design, development, and delivery of a production‑ready, “common” advanced VLF receiver and associated support equipment that will replace legacy airborne and ground‑based VLF NC3 systems and equip future platforms. The receiver must provide secure beyond‑line‑of‑sight communications for Emergency Action Messages across all conflict levels, be Crypto Modernization‑2 (CM2) compliant, support a new waveform, be NSA‑certified, and conform to Open Mission Systems (OMS) architecture—delivering a one‑size‑fits‑all solution. The work will be performed at Hanscom AFB, MA, and is classified under NAICS 541715 (R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences).
